and if he had actually been in Jerusalem

如果他真如使徒行传所说
as much as Acts says,

到过耶路撒冷那么多次
couldn't the people who received his letter have checked this out?

难道收信人不能查知吗
Yeah.

对啊
They could basically say later, no, Paul, in spite of saying

他们之后可以直接说保罗
that you do not lie, you're a liar.

虽然你说自己没说谎但你是个骗子
We know, we've checked it out.

我们知道我们已经查过了
Paul's letter, I would say,

我会认为保罗的信
is much more likely to contain better historical evidence,

可能包含了更强有力的历史证据
but we can argue about that until the cows come home.

对于这个问题我们可以辩论很长时间
The main point is that you still have to sift these documents with a lot of careful sifting

主要一点是需要对这些资料做细致筛选
to get any reliable historical data out of them.

来从中获得真正可靠的历史资料
